From heat to air conditioning in the same day.

I recently drove to a tropical location to visit my eldest daughter and her family.

I couldn’t believe the weather! I live in the south, but not in the tropical location my daughter lives in.

It was an eight hour drive and cold enough when I left to have the heater on, back home and in the car. By the time I made it halfway there, I turned the heat off and rolled my windows down. By the time I was close, I had the air conditioning running. But the weather didn’t stay warm all the time. My first night there, it was cold enough to run the heat and then, during the day, it was hot enough to run the air conditioning. I couldn’t believe it! Every night, the temperatures dropped to around 60, but the dampness made it feel colder. I guess it is damp from the humidity, or maybe there was a light drizzle overnight, every night, but I found myself dismayed that first morning. I didn’t think that there was any way that I would enjoy the water ski show we had planned to see that afternoon, but, sure enough, my daughter was running the air conditioning by 10 AM. Granted, it wasn’t hot yet, but it was warming up, and the air conditioning is useful in combating humidity. I have never lived in a place like that, where you need the heater every night and the air conditioner during the day, at least in winter. I never would have even thought a place like that existed if I hadn’t seen it for myself.
